NYT Building Enjoys 70 Percent Lighting Energy Savings

Times are tough for the New York Times, but at least the company is saving dollars through the help of Lutron's Quantum Solution energy efficient lighting system. The New York Times building originally designed to consume 1.28 watts per square foot is currently only consuming 0.38 watts per, or 70 percent less than what was intended. It's a 52-story tower, so the savings that come from energy efficient lighting amount to $315,000 which, speaking in terms of emission, is equivalent to 1,250 metric tons of carbon dioxide.

Quantum Solution manages the lighting of the whole building, setting the appropriate level for every different part of the vicinity. Sensors also play an integral part of the system, dimming the lights where natural light is available and turning them off when there's no one in that area of the building. The lights are also preprogrammed to shut off and turn on during specific times of the day. To know more about the efficacy of Lutron's Quantum Solution in an edifice as gargantuan as the NYT Building, check out the project's official Web page.
